Admiration and Love

September 19, 2006

I hate being sick...but love live music!

I hardly ever get sick, but it seems to be the case that when Solan's sick, I'm the next in line. It's just a cold, but with a cough that wakes me up at 4am. Yuck. Poor hubbie. He's being so awesome in taking care of his wee-sick family. Hopefully, he won't catch it.

So, last week I attempted to venture to some local stores to have them look at my wares, but was told to come this week. So, if i'm feeling better tomorrow, I'll be on my way. Also, I'm getting some models together for my etsy store. I have to have all of that done very soon, since the deadline for Blue Genie is October 2nd! Wow!

In other news, Thursday is Solan's 3rd birthday! I can't believe it. We'll have a party for him on Saturday, something small (with a pinata of course) mostly neighbors, friends, and family. But then, it's my birthday on Sunday!!! Woo hoo! I love birthdays!! I'll be at rehearsal for the majority of the afternoon, but hopefully hubbie has plans for me on Sunday eve. Yes. I hope so. I would love to be taken to a nice restaurant, a movie, and maybe to see some live music. Hmmm....am I leaving hints or what?!

Happy Tuesday!

Oh, I forgot to mention: I won Austin City Limits 3-day passes for this past weekend. For those of you unfamiliar with ACL, well, it's quite a shindig. Tom Petty, Ben Harper, Massive Attack, Ray LaMontagne and many many many others. Unfortunately, I had performances and could only attend hours at a time. But it was worth it. I discovered Federico Aubele. A beautiful voice and beautiful music. He's from Argentina and his music was absolutely fabulous. I also discovered these crazy but cool folks, Ghostland Observatory. And they are from right here, Austin of all places. I admit at first when I heard them on my way to seeing nose-bleeding, Ben Kweller, I was not liking it at all. But they grew on me. And it's pretty awesome. Very 80s. I also discovered a Parisian group by the name of Phoenix. And they're poppy I have to admit...but there's something about them that I like. Maybe it's that "french" thing rubbing off as they parade on stage. But it was good. Real good. I love live music and miss my single days of venturing to clubs and listening to some good music. And I can't wait to see this chica. She's coming soon!!! I almost saw these guys tonite, but they didn't start till 930p and Solan was with us..so we left. We're good friends with Cliff, guitar and drummer extraordinaire!
